On Friday, March 21, 2025, the EuroMillions lottery captivated players with a staggering jackpot of 198 million euros. The excitement surrounding this grand prize drew in numerous participants across Europe, each hoping to change their fortune with the draw.
The winning numbers for the EuroMillions draw held on that date were reported as follows: 9, 17, 18, 21, and 50, with the lucky stars being 5 and 12. Despite the immense participation, no player successfully matched all five main numbers and the two stars, which means that the enormous jackpot will roll over to the next draw, now amounting to 217 million euros. With such a sum on the line, anticipation is already building for the next round of hopeful players.
While the main jackpot went unclaimed, there were still notable wins from the draw. Among them, a player in France managed to secure 330,212.80 euros by matching five numbers and one star. Additionally, another lucky participant became an instant millionaire through the My Million draw, winning a guaranteed 1 million euros with the code LI 392 0967. This code is assigned automatically to every validated EuroMillions ticket sold in France, ensuring at least one winner in every draw.
Participants and those interested in playing EuroMillions can do so via the Française des Jeux (FDJ) website, mobile app, or at local retailers. To play, individuals simply need to select five numbers between 1 and 50 and two stars from 1 to 12. A standard ticket costs 2.50 euros, and with the next draw scheduled for Tuesday, March 25, 2025, players have until 20:15 to submit their entries.
The procedure of the EuroMillions lottery involves regular draws, held twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, with the jackpot continuing to grow until it is won. If no one claims the jackpot again during the upcoming draw, the amount could exceed 220 million euros, potentially reaching new milestones, as the jackpot is allowed to escalate until it hits a cap of 250 million euros. In fact, the current record for the largest jackpot ever won in the EuroMillions was 240 million euros, making the prospect of hitting the 250 million mark particularly tantalizing.
For those curious about winning results, the outcomes of the draws are broadcast on TF1 and available on the FDJ website shortly after the draw concludes. Players can confirm their results and potential winnings using the FDJ app or online simulating tools if they purchased tickets through the internet.
While EuroMillions can be an enticing and fun experience, players are urged to gamble responsibly. The FDJ highlights the importance of setting a budget and only playing with money that one can afford to lose. For anyone who feels they may need help with gambling-related issues, support is available through Joueurs Info Service, which provides advice and counseling.

As the days count down to the next draw, there’s an air of excitement among potential participants, all eager for the chance to become the next winner in what has become a beloved EuroMillions tradition.
